Pros

Excellent benefits (fully-paid maternity leave, jury duty, etc.), very family-friendly Upper management seems truly to care about all employees CEO has high integrity, a rarity in the EDA industry

Cons

Acquisitions and the resultant "culture shock" not always handled efficiently Not enough accountability for middle management I once tried to navigate an internal transfer to Switzerland but the associated HR office was located in Germany and had no clue about Swiss laws and policies

Pros

One of major EDA leaders, latestest EDA technology, has EDA whole flow which other small companies hard to compete. Has customers of major semicondutor manufacturing companies. Customer supports are very strong. Working style are flexiable and you may spend time to think more about technology instead of busy with routine job. There are meetings, but not so many and can be handled and it is definitely much less than big companies.

Cons

Team spirit cross teams is very low and is hard to share information between departments. For same kind of work, each team will have its own development and it affect productivites significantly.
